Joseph P. Blocher (1924-2013)

April 8, 2013

It is with great sadness that we report that Joseph P. Blocher, one of our firm's founding partners, passed away last Friday. He had just turned 89 on March 22. Mr. Blocher joined with R. Robert Linowes in January 1962 to form the law partnership of Linowes and Blocher. Until shortly before his death, Joe was a daily presence in our office, serving as a valuable resource to our lawyers who regularly drew upon his deep reservoir of legal knowledge and practical advice.

We will miss Joe - he was deeply loved and respected by everyone who knew him. Our heartfelt sympathy goes out to the Blocher family.
